Where Have All The Soul Men Gone is Johnny's 2020 release for Third Street Cigar Records, the third in three years for our label. Those who know Johnny's history won't be surprised. "Rawls is always on the road," has been a music business mantra for decades. But in a year where live music came to a halt, Johnny, naturally, got busy polishing and releasing ten original songs recorded on his last European jaunt.

All the new tunes were laid down in Copenhagen just days (literally) before the continent went dark. Back in the USA, Johnny returned to Ohio's Bigfoot Studios to add his trademark horn charts and to collaborate again with veteran guitar man Larry Gold, who added his licks to "Money" and one for these times for sure: "Town Too Small." 'Strange times we living in today...', Johnny sings on the latter. An exclamation point on another classic Johnny Rawls album, where the soul of the blues rises to the top to save us all.
